#Trump Picks #ClimateDenying #Oil&Gas Magnate as #EnergySecretary. He Once Drank #FrackingFluid on Live TV
#DemocracyNow, November 18, 2024
"As we broadcast all week from the #COP29 talks in #Azerbaijan, we look at what Donald Trump’s reelection as U.S. president means for the #climate. #CleanEnergy and #environmental advocates are raising alarm over Trump’s picks for key roles in his administration, including #fracking magnate #ChrisWright to serve as energy secretary and #NorthDakota Governor #DougBurgum to lead the #InteriorDepartment, where he could greatly expand #drilling on #FederalLands. #Burgum, a major ally of the #FossilFuel industry, was also tapped to head a newly created #NationalEnergyCouncil aimed at increasing oil and gas production.
"For more on the #WhiteHouse transition, we speak with #ManishBapna, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council [#NRDC] and Natural Resources Defense Council Action. He calls Trump’s picks 'deeply troubling' but says there is still room for optimism. 'The clean energy transition in the United States is unstoppable. It’s going to hit some speed bumps now, but it will move forward,' says Bapna."
